'MARCK WEEKLY TRIB
and very healthy climate. It is mistake
to suppose that thoroughbreds have to be
treated kindly and cared for like tender
plants. They can rustic like common stock
and when you raise them you have some-
thing worth selling. Mr.. Adams has no
complaints to offer, but implicitly believes
in breeding good stock as the best invest
ment on farm.
THE JERSEYS.
A most interesting exhibitor to talk with
was r. T. Kinglnan Of Hillsboro, Trail
county. He has farm of three thousand
acres and although successful in wheat
raising is grdually increasing his stock
roll and diminishing his grain acreage
lie believes in stock as profit
able business, and the samples
showed up at Grand Forks were witnesses
OF fine knowledge of the industry. He
exhibited herd of Herefords that took five
hrst premiums and three seconds, and the
herd prize in that strain. His Jerseys
TOOK four first premiums and two seconds,
and the first premium as the best Jersey
took first premium at the Michigan state
fair and second at the New York state fair:
also, a cow got by Prince of NJ, grand
daughter OF the noted Princess with but
ter record Of 46 pounds and 12 ounces in
seven days, vs., the greatest weekly production
record OF % pounds of butter in seven
days. 1t anyone doesn't believe that is a
big record, let him figure on the record of
the average cow and he will find that 2S
pounds OF butter week is immense. Two
little Jersey calves in this herd attracted
more people than the biggest bulls on the
grounds They were beauties and in every
respect as sweet and cunning rs a pair Of
fawns. The bull calf is half brother of the
Prince of NJ. and is booked for a great
name if he lives. The owner saws no or
dlnary money can buy him-in tact, won't
talk Sci! or name any price. Kngman is
great believer in the Jerseys as butter
makers. He ranks them first without an
sir or an 'and." The Holstein people on
the other hand can't agree with him and
point to the records in the New York dairy
carnival as proof that he is mistaken.
ALLOwAY's BLACKS
Everybody along the Northern Pacific
knows DR.. Alloway of Grand Forks, and
almost everybody in Dakota knows him
since he was appointed territorial veter-
marian. Everybody, however, hasn't seen
his stock farm within the limits of the city.
| or the one of two thousand acres down the
river. His town farm covers l2O acres and
is beautifully located on the banks of the
winding Red. His nice house and barns
are built in grove with all the attractions
of a lovely home. The location is almost
ideal. To stockman, his barns are mod
els of convenience and comfort. Here the
visitor will see the famous Polled Angus

Hill, declare the favorites for this country.
OF this breed Hill has distributed in North
Dakota animals worth $150,O0O. At the
fair the doctor exhibited a herd of fifteen,
headed by Prince Leopold, $4,000 bull
Leopold IS great beauty and, as a matter
Alloway has 100 head of this breed, and,
including all grades, has about $4,000 in
vested in cattle. Alloway also has
a Hereford farm in Iowa. He is
a stock man of the first class.
The valley farm is called the Dakota
Thoroughbred Cattle Nursery, and it is
well named. Such nurseries, like the
charms of Mrs. Smith IN David Garrick,''
| cannot be too often repeated.
With the exception of Leopold the herd
exhibited had been out since the second
week of May, and their fine condition was
remarkable illustration of the nutritive
properties OF our native grasses. This
herd was imported from Scotland in 1882
and includes, in the language of another,
! "the choicest and most fashionable Polled
Angus blood on either side of the Allan
| tic" These hornless cattle do remarkably
| we'll in Dakota. 1t is claimed by the
owner that the climate agrees with them
better than with other breeds. A very
sleek steer and heifer took the first prem
| ium in the fat cattle class.
THE SWEEPSTAKES.

for sweepstakes over all herds. In this
case the winners came from the Bow Park
herd, Brantford, Ontario, and was limited
to six head. There was a three-year-old
bull, weighing $500 pounds; two-year-old
bull, 2,2OO pounds; COW that weighed
1900; another 1000, and a three year-old,
1866. N. p. Clarke also had with this herd
were in individual box stalls, blanketed
and fed on bran and c sugar. The business
OF this herd is to take prizes and advertise
the breed and owner. They are not used
for breeding purposes. They are built for
show and cared for like invalids Proba-
bly, no finer specimens of beef and cattle
culture ever stood on hoofs. They go from
fair to fair taking sweepstakes in part pay
ment OF expenses. No price is put upon
them as they are only show cattle.
